ROLAND INTRODUCES BT-1 BAR TRIGGER PAD
Versatile Add-On Trigger Pad for V-Drums and Acoustic Drums
Los Angeles, CA, January 21, 2013 — Roland is pleased to announce the BT-1 Bar
Trigger Pad, a compact device that attaches easily to nearly any V-Drums® V-Pad™
or acoustic drum. The BT-1 is great not only for playing sounds in a Roland V-Drums
module or SPD-series percussion pad, but also for convenient control of a variety of
useful functions.
The BT-1 is a simple, single-trigger pad with a compact, curved shape. It directly
attaches to the hoop of most drums using a tension rod or a standard rod-type mount
with the included attachment parts. The internal design eliminates false triggering
due to crosstalk while playing surrounding drums and/or pads.
Plugging the BT-1 into a trigger input on a V-Drums module or SPD-series
percussion pad allows users to play any sound or trigger a wide variety of functions.
These include start/stop of songs and phrase loops, kit selection, tap tempo, effects
on/off, and many others.
For V-Drums players, the BT-1 makes it simple to incorporate additional triggers
without having to add more pads.
For acoustic drummers, the BT-1 offers an easy and affordable way to integrate
electronics with their kits. Unlike large round pads and footswitches, the BT-1 blends
seamlessly without the player having to adjust their setup or playing style.
